Brand New Speedmaster Overheats

New bike.....take it back to the dealer, I wouldn't touch it if I were you. Probably a service issue but could be serious

 

Hi Kevin,

Agree with sprintdave. Perhaps contact dealer and have them collect the bike.

Can I ask what were the symptoms of the overheating. My 2018 model speedmaster doesn't come with a temperature gauge.

Cheers

 

If you had coolant leaking out it could be that the dealer overfilled it. Check your levels.

 

They should collect the bike from your house and bring it back to you when it's sorted

 

I would insist they drop of a courtesy bike,when collecting yours

Same here. The dealer sod you a defective machine and to ride could overheat and cause all sorts of problems not to mention engine wear and blown gaskets. Not sure about your neck of the woods but here the dealer is bound to pick up and rectify and either offer a courtesy bike or bring your bike back. Did this myself some years ago and ended up rejecting the bike a sprint st with cutting out problems. Triumph even supported me and sent a test rider who said the bike was dangerous So i rejected it and changed dealer.

Great result, definitely worth the trip. Always nice to hear of good service too

 

Great result and a simple fix with no damage done. That is exactly how all Triumph dealers should respond in a situation like yours
